I went looking for a camping site today, looking for some camping forks, marshmallow forks, etc.

I come across this site www.campfireforks.com and found some of the coolest roasting forks on the net.  they had long ones, short ones, 2pc ones, and a tree for marshmallows.

pretty cool.  the site also had some other items i thought were long gone in the camping area.  the pie irons.  www.campfireforks.com have square, round, double and some slotted pie iron.  i can remember when my grandma made hobo pies or pudgy pies on those things.

Today we opened our newest site.  www.bonfireforks.com and with it come a whole new concept to our network of sites.  We decided to create a network of sites that have what we call “focus” products such as roasting, toasting, marshmallow forks, roasters, etc.  along with other products such as pie irons, cast iron ware, and tripod grills.

With bonfires, campfires, open fires, or any other type of fire, the bonfire forks site will offer all kinds of good stuff.

visit the site www.bonfireforks.com and see all that it offers from extension forks, to marshmallow forks, to bonfire forks and roaster toasters.  To pie irons to tripod grills.

the company, www.franksmarketing.com is the main company of this site selling everything for the camper in all of us.  you know those guys that go camping and camping all the time, the ones with rv lights hanging from there camper awning with a campfire everywhere.

Good Morning, today is an unofficial holiday in the US, it’s opening day for a lot of baseball teams.  Including my favorite the Indians.  So good luck tonight boys.

It’s just a reminder that the campgrounds will be opening real soon, and some already have.  That means it’s time to get all your camping gear packed, and ready to roll at the first hint of warmth.

My item of the day today is the campfire popcorn popper.  Why?  well, its a simple cool gadget to have, especially at the campsite.  Please one of these next to a campfire with some popcorn seeds and a bit of oil, and you’ve got the whole families attention.  trust me.

Here is a photo of the popcorn popper for camping, open fire cooking.

These popcorn poppers can be found at some of the following sites.

Thank you, and have a great day!

Camping Season is upon us, and it’s time to get ready to head out in nature and see what we can see.

Along the way, eat some awesome food, that is cooked over an open fire. And the easies way to do this is with pie irons and roasting forks, or as some parts of the country would say hoho pies and marshmallow forks.  Either way, it all tastes good.

Camping, and pie irons and roasting forks go hand in hand, pie irons to make those awesome pudgy pies, and the forks to make those smores!

Here are a few photos of some items we found on a few sites, and the links to them.

Here are some sites to check out.

Camping with Pie Irons has become as popular as taking a cooler.  With today’s fast paced world or attempting to squeeze as much fun into a camping trip as possible, fixing a huge meal with all the fix’ns is a thing of the past.  On today's camping sites, you’ll see more and more pie irons, and not just the traditional square pie irons, you’ll also see the famous round “pudgy” pie iron, and even some newer styles such as the wilderness cooker, that’s a slotted round iron.  It allows you to cooker burgers with the grease leaving the iron.. we’re talking about an awesome burger right from the fire!

A lot of the newer irons including the burger cooker as include a double pie iron for quick cooking of 2 meals (perfect for couples).

others include the Panini cooker, the waffle iron, and the bread iron.

We’ve gone through the trouble of finding some places to get them.

Hello everyone.  I've got a product for you this weekend.

It's called the "Wuff 'em" stick.  you have got to check out the web site at www.wuffems.com and see this camping, campfire gadget.

A stick with a head, that you place ordinary biscuits from a tube onto and roast or bake over a fire.  This creates a small "bowl" in which you can fill with you favorite items like puddings, pie fillings, gravy, chili, and more...

This weekend, our goal is to try these out, and to try out other camping items that we got.

We got this new pie iron as well.  It's called a wilderness cooker.

It's perfect for burgers and such.

It's like a pie iron but with slots.  These allow the grease to go through the slots and to get that "grilled" look.   very awesome and a must have for camping this weekend.

these can be purchased from the above sites as well as others like:

www.PieIronUSA.com

www.CampingForks.com

Hello everyone...

Well today is Friday and we're preparing to go camping for the weekend.  We've packed our sleeping bags, the coolers, the pillows, tents, gear, and yes.. the pie irons.

We use pie irons every time we go camping.  We make sandwiches, pies, brownies, waffles, and pizza too.

We got our pie iron this week from www.pieironusa.com but we also saw some great sandwich cookers at other sites like www.sandwichcooker.com and www.pudgypies.com

Anyways, everyone have fun this weekend, start a campfire and enjoy nature..

Also, we but a marshmallow fork this week from www.marshmallowforks.com and they are cool.

Good Morning.  This weekend was a great weekend.  The Family went camping Saturday afternoon through Sunday.

We pretty much totally relaxed, and enjoyed a book or two.  Took a few rides on the golf cart, started a fire, etc.

This weekend, Kathy found a recipe from Rachel Ray for some awesome burgers, and thought she'd try them.  Using the Rome Hamburger press from www.pieironusa.com and from www.pudgypies.com she made some hamburgers with the pie irons with the slots in them.  Very cool.  A pie iron with slots, what an idea.  We grilled the burgers and the grease simply went through the slots. 

She also cook some veggies the same way.  

What a was to use pie irons.

This Sunday we plan to go to the camper at the campground and swim, along with that we plan to roast some hot dogs with our new hot dog roasting camping forks from www.campingforks.com these new forks are awesome.  The come in 2 pieces and screw together to make a giant roasting fork.  Kathy also picked up some roasting forks from www.marshmallowforks.com so we can roast some marshmallows on Sunday evening.  The kids can't wait to go.

Here are some photos of the forks that we got.

Well that's it for now, go camping use a camping marshmallow fork or a pie iron to cook with...

Last weekend was great.  I took the Wife and Kids camping.

I know, I know..  We go camping nearly every weekend, but what made this weekend special.  Well, one thing.  It was a family affair.

I mean, I had it made, I had my wife, and my kids all at the same spot at the same time.  That was nice...

Yeah, it might not have been all weekend, but it was good.

My wife this weekend while camping thought she'd try something different in cooking this weekend, she made kabobs with skewers from campingfunshop.com.  They worked out really well.  She had potatos, sausage, garlic, peppers, onion, hhmm.  good...

We also made pudgy pies using these cast iron pie irons from a site she ran across the other day PieIronUSA.com and PudgyPies.com both of the sites had awesome camping cooking gear and it doesn't hurt any that i run them..  But we enjoyed making the sandwiches and pies with the pie irons.  They were simple and easy to use and easy cleanup.  We used a round pudgy and the square sandwich ones.

Later that evening, had enjoyed some marshmallows using marshmallow forks that she had found on MarshmallowForks.com and i think another site CampingForks.com where that both have a ton of camping forks for marshmallows, hot dogs, bratwurst, you name it.  The next day my Daughter and I cooked some of the sausage from the kabobs with the roasting forks and cooked them...  i'm telling you they tasted good..

Well, more later..  Have a great weekend, and go camping.

Mike

Hello everyone!  Today I'd like to introduce an old family friend.

The Round Pudgy pie iron....  Yeah, the round pie iron that our parents and grandparents used over open fires an such.

We used to love these things, from banana bread, to pumpkin bread and even brownies and all kinds of meals and treats.

I remember way back when, when our parents "only" used pie irons for cooking at camp.  I mean everything.  They have the round one, the square one, and double, you name it they had it..

These are perfect for the new and old campers alike. 

We've done some searching, and found them at the following retailers.

It's called the bread stick.  it's not quite a roasting toasting or a marshmallow fork, but i had to tell you about it.

I saw it on www.campingforks.com and others site.

above is a photo of it.

We usually take a can of store bought biscuits and lightly wrap around the end.  Usually within just a minute or two you have a baked biscuit.

Our family puts butter, peanut butter, apple butter or jelly in them.

Many folks have written of all kinds of recipes for these.

Good Day.  Today we're going to show you a cool little product.

the Pudgy pie iron.  The round usually cast iron pudgy pie used to cook foods over an open fire or even on your gas stove. 

Round Pudgy Pie Iron - Cast Iron
As much as people love the traditional square
design, there is a vocal crowd of passion for
our round Pie Iron. It's all in the way the
cooker seals the food. Locking in flavors
whether it's a hamburger, quick bread or
dessert. With a sandwich, the round design
crimps the corners of the bread to form a
firm seal (similar to ravioli.)

4 ¼" dia. Head; 28" overall length.
Weight: 2.5 lbs

Here is an image of one

Open fire Cooking Gear Reviews

Today we're going to review the wilderness burger cooker manufactured by Rome Industries.

The wilderness cooker is similar in shape and size as the pudgy pie iron sold everywhere.  But with one big difference.  The wilderness burger cooker has slots on both sides to allow the burger to get grilled.  Very cool, I've got to tell you.

you simply make a burger, place in the gadget and cook it over a fire.  Be careful not to get ashes on your burger though.  You can make one burger for one person, or pass the wilderness cooker around and everyone can cook there own burger.  No need to setup the big grill, or a skillet.  Just use the wilderness burger cooker.

We've found these at several retailers, including these.

www.Sandwichcooker.com

www.PieIronUSA.com

www.PudgyPies.com

www.FirePies.com

and others.

Good day, today we're going to review a cool little camping gadget.  The Pie Iron or some folks say the pudgy pie.

I guess these would be considered 2 different items. 1 is the pie iron and 1 is the pudgy pie.  The "Pie Iron" is a square sandwich cooker great for grilled cheese sandwiches, and the pudgy pie is more for pies such as filling pies.  But could be used for each others purposes..

Here are a couple images of each.

these can be purchased at the following retailers.
